I love the way folks used to turn a photograph into a Real Photo Postcard. This dear little girl, Astrea Gertrude Wakley, is my mum’s maternal 1st cousin and I remember mum speaking of her quite fondly. Astrea is 8 months old in this picture which means it was taken in May of 1914. The card was sent to my grandmother Ines Maud Bailey nee: Smith by her sister Gertrude Grace Wakley nee: Smith.
As far as I know Astrea married twice and had one daughter. She passed away in 2004 in Tweed Heads, New South Wales at the age of 91 years.
Totally adorable!
